The Scottish Rite Fundraiser for 2009 will be a Discount Card Program overseen by the ThreeBrothers; Mike Ford, Rob Freeman, and Kyle Kissmann. We strongly encourage the support of other brothers within the Scottish Rite Valley of Asheville, as well as the many Blue Lodges within our jurisdiction.
The discount card will not only provide our brothers with much needed funding for fraternal and community events, support for our Charity - RiteCare and other programs, it is also an excellent way for businesses of our community to receive free advertising within the current economic crunch. With Advertising costs rising, along with fuel, manpower, and the price of goods and services, we have devised a fundraising program that will eliminate many of the costs (in fact all of the costs) that would be associated with large ad campaigns. We furnish the manpower (to distribute), the cost of equipment and goods (to produce the card) and more especially, there is no cost (besides the discount you would provide anyway) to get into our program.
The card looks as follows:
The back of the card is as simple as: (note: this is a sample)

As you will note, no card is valid without the signature of the card holder, meaning each individual will provide their own card for discount, one cannot be passed among several and you can ask for ID. The card will feature a disclaimer noting only one use per cardholder per day, not to exceed this. We will also furnish a webaddress for a complete list of discounts for all areas of our jurisdiction as not all discounts will be able to fit on the card. Additionally the best offers will be featured on the card itself. We will also, as stated above, mention where profits are intended to be used.
